Pros: He is a natural nose tackle type who has a thick wide athletic and powerful frame. He has excellent natural playing strength to hold the middle of the line and the quickness and explosiveness to be disruptive and push the pocket. He has an excellent motor and gives a blocker a full day's work when he lines up over them. His technique improved over his late career, especially his hands, which have allowed him to use his natural ability to the fullest. Cons: He lacks great size for a tackle. He has struggled through several injuries over his career, but has always returned and performed at an even higher level. Over his late career, he displayed more consistency in both run and pass defense and improved his technique to handle the double-team blocks he faced regularly much better. Numbers: As a senior, he made 57 tackles with 23 tackles for loss, 9 sacks and five, while starting a career-high 12 games. At the Combine, he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.95 seconds, did 44 reps in the 225-pound bench press, had a 32.5-inch vertical jump and a 9-foot-5 broad jump.
